If you want to permanently change the background color, you must change the 3D Annotation properties explicitly and then save the PDF file. To do this:
1) Disable the 3D Annotation if it is enabled
2) Choose the 'Select Object' from the Advanced Editing Toolbar
3) Right click on the 3D Annotation and select 'Properties'
4) Choose 'Edit Content'
5) Change the 'Default Background Color' on the 'Add 3D Content Dialogue'
6) Select 'Retreive Poster from Default View' to update the bitmap displayed when the 3D Annotation is disabled
7) Select OK, Close, etc to apply changes
8) Save the PDF file.
NOTE: You may want to choose 'Save As' at this point to discard any string of edit changes you have made to the PDF file.
